Playground Committee Needs your help
Volunteers for watering new landscape
 The playground committee needs volunteers to water the newly installed plants around the K-2 playground. They need to be watered 3 out of 7 days for 20 minutes. Hoses will be placed along the fence of the playground closest to the car rider line. Simply move the black dial where the water comes from the wall outside of the cafeteria to begin the water flow. Water the plants along the fence at the base of each plant. And then close the black dial to shut off the water.
Watering can be done any time of day and should be staggered throughout the 7 day week. Ideally, we would like a family to commit to a whole 3 day watering block. If it's a rainy week, watering can be done less than 2 days.
